People don't understand how the business of the NFL works. Orton excels when he is in the shotgun. That is the system he played in at Purdue. He never really adjusted to playing from under center. Ron Turner isn't fond of qbs playing out of the shotgun. Angelo couldn't force Lovie to get rid of Turner, and no GM in his right mind would even interview him for a head coaching position. Lovie is Angelo's second coach, so both of their fates are tied together. Angelo can't just fire him and start over. If Lovie gets fired, odds are Angelo goes around the same time. Therefore, it is easier to simply trade for Cutler, than firing the coaching staff and bring in a new staff and new system. It might not have been ideal, but trading for Cutler was the best option when you look at everything I laid out.
